Hi People I just received my acceptance letter for U of T 2 year MSW!!!!! I can't believe this!!!

If you don't mind me asking was that an email through which you have received your letter? 

[FingerCrossedMSW2022]

Just an update for those who applied to Manitoba 2 year. I know someone's status has just changed to "under final review" and you could expect to hear from them in 2-3 weeks.

I applied right at the deadline in January, I'm domestic, initials S.K. My friend who got in a different year didn't get an email for a while after egas was updated so check it often!

Does anyone know U of T's tuition costs? I found some info (2020-2021) but it only mentions the first two semesters at about 11k. If anyone knows anything else, that would be super helpful! thank you

 

 

Hey! I'm in my first year at UofT. My tuition (including all fees) was $11,189.99. Incidental fees were slightly higher this year than last - the actual program fee was the exact same as the one you found for 2020/21 (9,420). If you're applying to the two year program you have the option to take courses in the summer following your first year at no additional cost if you want. I'm not exactly sure if what you mean by first two semesters is fall/winter? Fees for next year wouldn't be out yet.

Are folks eligible for OSAP's permanent disability grants for graduate programs or is it just undergrad? Thanks

This waiting game is brutal!

I'm waiting on 2yr programs for U of T and Western. No change in the status of my applications. 

Congrats to everyone who has received an offer.

I'm sitting here combing last year's pages to see what exact date people heard stuff on. I'm focusing on U of T. On April 8th people started getting acceptances. April 9th people started hearing they were waitlisted. I doubt we'll hear anything before the second week of April. We can survive until then!

Good luck!

Same here, I’m waiting for uoft and ubco and haven’t heard anything as well. As far as I can tell, no domestic students here have..keep your head up you got this!

For U of T this is early for their two year program. 
Here are the dates acceptances were sent out in previous years: 
2021 - April 8th
2020 - March 30th
2019 - March 25th
2018 - March 27th

There's no need to panic yet!

Thank you for this! Not panicking yet, just impatient haha

[Amomilk]

Thank you I have lost my words - when I received my email notification I thought it was rejection 100%. I received it through email (probably also because I didn’t check Acorn frequently). My last name start with S.

My previous background is basically in social justice related research. Around 2300 hrs independent /project research in total. Other volunteering experiences around 700-800hrs. Also had activism experience and one of my references is based on this. 

I think international applicants may hear from UofT earlier because we also need to apply for work/study permit. Finger crossed for everyone and hopefully we are getting good news in few days!

Have u guys heard from UBC-Vancouver MSW Program?

Anyone mind sharing more about their experience / knowledge about the Program ? I mainly obtained the Program information on the Program’s website, but didnt see much discussion on the Program in this thread.

[ktr]

Wondering if anyone knows how many people applied to Western's 2 year program? If not for this year, then maybe in the past year?

Can anyone relate? I have a non-BSW degree and feel frustrated that Laurier is the only Canadian university that offers a fully online Foundational MSW. The university closest to me, UBC-Vancouver, only offers an Advanced MSW. I can't uproot my family and leave my job to move out of Vancouver to pursue a Foundational MSW in another province. UBC-Vancouver no longer offers a Foundational MSW which is really perplexing as every major Canadian university seems to have a Foundational program. UFV has a Foundational MSW but it's offered every odd year (this also perplexes me) and 80km away from where I live. Work, my kids' school, and elderly parents are all in Vancouver and depend on me, and I can't commute 160km daily to UFV while trying to care for my family. I'm now looking at accredited US online Foundational MSW programs if I don't get into Laurier but it's double the cost of a Canadian MSW. Thanks for hearing me out!

Its definitely tough for those who are caregivers, full-time workers and are reliable for others. I completely agree with you in that its insane and almost illogical how there's on one full online program in Canada, that not only makes it competitive but also difficult for those that don't have any other options. My heart goes out to you, sending you all the luck and positivity. Wishing you get into your choice.
